The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science

In this book Troward explores the relationship between the individual and the Universal Mind which he sees as the source of all creative power in the universe. He argues that the individual mind has the ability to tap into this creative power and use it to manifest its desires. Trowards approach is highly philosophical and draws on a wide range of sources including the Bible Eastern philosophy and the writings of Immanuel Kant and other philosophers. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles of mental science which he sees as universal and timeless and offers practical guidance for applying these principles in everyday life. The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science is divided into twelve lectures each of which explores a different aspect of Trowards philosophy. Topics include the nature of causation the relationship between mind and matter the power of the imagination and the role of willpower in shaping ones life. Like The Dore Lectures The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science continues to be a popular and influential work in the New Thought movement and in the broader field of spiritual and metaphysical literature. It is considered by many to be one of the foundational texts of modern New Thought philosophy.
